Answer: Physical weathering

Step-by-step explanation:

Weathering is a process of break down of the rock, soil or any other material into sub-parts, sediments or other materials.

Physical weathering can be define as the geological process in which the rocks, soil or any other solid material breaks apart under the influence of a physical agent such as pressure, warm temperature, ice and water. This process does not bring change in the chemical composition of the material produced after the process in the form of debris, sediments or others.

The answer is physical weathering. It is a process of breaking rocks apart without any chemical composition in the process. By the time goes by, the Earth's movement will cause breaking of rocks formation that is causing the physical weathering.
